John 21:15-25 – Today we conclude our time in the book of John. We have by no means mined all the treasure that is to be found in this narrative of the life of Yeshua, but we have gotten some wonderful nuggets. I hope this journey has inspired you to dig for your own hidden … Continue reading John 21:15-25 – Peter revisited

John 18:1-18 – The book of John is primarily written to proclaim the deity of Yeshua. As we have been reading, we have seen the threads that John weaves throughout the narrative, connecting Yeshua with G-d. Today’s reading continues in that vein, as Yeshua is finally arrested by the religious authorities, who believe they now … Continue reading John 18:1-18 – He did it anyway
